Hey Guys!

First things first: The mission HAS MY PACKAGE. I am going to get it soon. I think that I will be getting it on Wednesday.

Also, my zone has interviews with the president on Thursday! So I am excited about that. I am going to have time to talk with the president. :)

This week was good. Basically none of our investigators are progressing so I think that we are going to have to start dropping them like rocks because they are not committing for anything. Or, better said, they are committing like crazy but when we go back to verify if they did it, they have never done anything. So that is kind of where we are with our investigators. But it is all good. We are getting momentum.

This week, we did some heavy duty service to the Bishop. We shined his shoes, gave his wife flowers, gave his kids candy and asked him for a blessing to know how to work in the area better. And now he is basically in love with us. And his blessing was really good. To my companion, Elder Leiva, he blessed him with the gift of obedience with an emphasis on mission rules (which is something that he struggles with a lot) and my blessing was really powerful as well. We´ll see how long it lasts but I think that we are going to be getting a lot of support from the bishop in these coming days. Right now he is completely willing to support us in any activity that we do. And treat it as a ward activity. So I am excited about that. We are going to try to take advantage of it while it lasts. I am excited about this stuff!

There is this one member in the ward named Maritza who is so amazing. She gives us so many references of her friends that it is amazing. She has absolutely no fear of sharing the gospel whatsoever. So I asked her the other day how is it that she can share the gospel so effortlessly and without fear when there are so many other members who are completely paralyzed when they think of sharing the gospel with anyone. She said that she just thinks of how happy that they will be when they have the gospel in their lives and that just completely blocks out any fear that she has about sharing the gospel. And that reminded me of a scripture that I cannot remember right now that is in Alma that says that perfect love casts out all fear.

SO THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT! If you really love your friends, you will share the gospel with them.

Well, it is about time for me to go. Have a great day! I love you guys!

Love

Elder Froelich
